Physiological ecology is concerned with the way that physiological
traits fit organisms for the ecological circumstances in which they
live, so there is always an implicit evolutionary component to it.
This book is concerned with physiological studies that make the
evolutionary considerations explicit. The first part explores
physiological models that predict how, under different ecological
pressures, resources should be invested in such metabolic processes
as costs of maintenance, growth patterns and allometries, ageing
and physiological adaptability. In the context of the integrated
metabolism of whole organisms, the second part of the volume
considers aspects of the physiological ecology of specific
organisms. The underlying theme of these chapters is the link
between genotype and physiological phenotype.
